The whole “aroace people are basically het” argument is annoying on so many levels. And one of those levels (among many) is that it assumes aroace people would identify as straight/het if they didn’t know about asexuality and aromanticism.
Fact is, I’ve always known I wasn’t attracted to anyone (especially men, since that’s who society expects me to be attracted to). I’ve never experienced het attraction. I pretended I did for a while, but I always knew it was a lie.. Discovering the terms “asexual” and “aromantic” later in life just helped me put words to how I always knew I felt.
And honestly, if I didn’t know what asexuality and aromanticism were (and had to put a label on myself) I would probably identify as bisexual or pansexual because I feel the exact same level of attraction to people of any gender (zero, none)… and it’s impossible for me to distinguish my feelings for people on the basis of gender.
But i’m not bi or pan. And I won’t pretend to be. Nor am I het or gay. I am asexual. I am aromantic. I am aroace. There are words to describe my identity and I will continue to use them and be true to myself.
also, here’s the thing. i have been asexual and (mostly) aromantic my whole life. however, i did not know that asexuality and aromanticism were things a person could be until i was 19. up to that point, i identified as straight
i knew i wasn’t gay or bi so i figured i had to be straight (cuz there wasn’t anything else) so that’s what i was. i 100%, absolutely believed i was a heterosexual + heteroromantic straight person
here’s the kicker: thinking i was straight did not actually make me straight, it did not make me feel things actual straight people felt
i completely and fully, without a doubt, believed i was straight. but i wasn’t straight, i have never been straight, i just thought i was. i never felt broken, but i spent many years feeling isolated and disconnected from my peers. i was straight so i should be feeling the same things as them, but for some reason it didnt seem like it, and i didn’t understand. these people i was supposed to be able to connect with acted in ways that didn’t make any sense to me
i didn’t realize it at the time but it was lonely. i was lonely
i did not identify as straight because i felt as straight people do, because i was “basically straight” already. i identified as straight because, even subconsciously, i viewed straightness as the default, i didn’t think i could be anything else. i identified as straight because of heteronormativity
you (general you) are not making a compelling argument when you say aro/aces would identify as straight otherwise. heteronormativity is something that affects all queer people. there are gay, lesbian, bi and pan people who have all identified as straight at some point because of heterornomativity, and the same is just as true for asexuals and aromantics
thinking you are straight does not make you straight, this is not a case of mind over matter. thinking you are straight because of internalized phobia, denial, or simply not knowing you can be anything else is not the same as being straight
and it is insulting and harmful to insist otherwise

“a period of prosperous personal growth is headed my way”
like = charge
reblog = cast
i guess what ppl dont tell u about college is that is a very lonesome period of ur life. and that doesnt mean like u wont have lots of friends or u wont party or whatever but ur going to spend so much time alone. like cooking by yourself and studying n homework and driving and going to classes like……… its just you sometimes. and the trick is to use that time by yourself to relax and understand YOU better and iron out your own wants n wishes instead of wallowing
scrolling thru tumblr like it’s a gay newspaper
So, I made a spread to go with my Deity Communication Spread! You can use them together or separately or not at all!
Card One is the deity – this is the equivalent to the first card in the Deity Communication Spread.
Card Two is one of the qualities/traits associated with them. I tend to read this as a more “negative” trait. Something that might seem scary or intimidating.
Card Three is another personality trait, but this one is usually read as being seen as more positive.
Card Four is what this deity rules over, or has power over.
Card Five will be for something that the deity is associated with, like a symbol or animal or something. (In my first test I got a Queen court card and the Queen itself was the answer there)
These things can be pieced together to try to get a fuller picture of who it is you might be dealing with. If you’ve already used the Deity Communication Spread, you can take Card One from that reading and place it here – and if you haven’t, you can put Card One from this reading into the communication spread, once you’ve identified them and want to know what they want.
This one has been working out pretty well for me, so hopefully y’all will like it!
However, here is some very good news.
The Democrats won back the House, gained subpoena power, and can now serve as an actual check on 45. This is very very good.
So even if it wasn’t the “blue wave” a lot of people were hoping for, I want you to remember that the GOP no longer will hold as much power as they did. Lots of women were voted into office, LGBT+ candidates were voted into office, more POC were voted into office, two more Muslim women were voted into office, Florida voted to restore voting rights to over one million felons who have completed their terms of sentence, and Massachusetts voted to protect transgender rights. I know there was more but this is what stood out to me.
And right after I finished writing that I learned the GOP supermajority in NC is over and our Governor’s veto powers can now be sustained. And the Dems now hold a 5-2 majority on the state supreme court which means something might actually get done about our horrific gerrymandering and I totally just started crying. I think my anxiety just dropped about sixty pegs.
Despite the gerrymandering and very blatant voter suppression (i see you, Kemp), we did take steps in the right direction today. So take some deep breaths, take the next few days to yourself and get re-centered, and then keep going. Lean on your friends, treat yourself to something nice, come back with a vengeance. We’re in for a long fight.
okay i feel like i should know this by now but…what does hard polytheism mean?
Hard polytheism means you view each deity as a separate entity. To a hard polytheist, Mars is a different god than Ares or Tyr.
The opposite of this would be soft polytheism. In soft polytheism, all deities are just different faces of the same divine being (or the same divine being.) Examples would be Wiccans who view all gods as aspects of the Horned God, or the Romans, who treated foreign deities as representations of their own gods under different names.
This is, of course, a spectrum. There are people who believe that, e.g., Woden and Odin are the same guy, but Hermes is different despite having been compared to him in the past. There are people whose polytheism is so “hard” that they believe that even deities by the same name might be different local entities (e.g., believing Athena Alea is different from Athena Polias, or that different regions of Ireland have different Cailleachs) and people whose polytheism is so “soft” that they’re basically pantheistic.
These also aren’t historical frameworks, or frameworks used in academia. They’re just useful terms for modern polytheists to compare views.
